It’s only the entrance! It’s where you get your tickets. There is space for parking, but if it’s a lot of buses and so on you have to park out site the parks boundary where there is no shade or anyone to look after them.
There are few toilets and no accommodations or restaurants.
It’s on the bank of a River and has nice view.
This office did not mention anywhere visitors has to take a ticket for entering to the jungle.
so do not pass the this point without ticket.because mid of the jungle having no wildlife office.they always getting ready to catch us.
pls do not forget the ticket if you wanna visiting to the point kudiramalai.
Nice experience visiting vilpathu national park.
Be there once
It is the second entrance gate of Wilpaththtu National park situated in Eluwankulam side. vehicle and people drive and walk small dilapidated bridge to cross the Kala oya. Kala Oya make beautiful scenic view. it's also the main road Puttalm to Mannar , but not carpeted or concreted. very muddy and dusty environment through the end of the Journey.
Loved it but can be dangerous with rain.
While we were doing a Rd trip on west coast we went thru wilpattu park from puttalam to mannar.its a gravel Rd since 4W off Rd is advisable.v were in our hylux Toyota .2 hour ride across red soil outback passing many lakes.
